Romans 6:21
6:21 a eternal doom (literally death): Throughout chs 5–8 b, Paul uses death to describe the eternal consequences of sin (5:12 c, 14 d, 15 e, 17 f, 21 g; 6:16 h, 23 i; 7:5 j, 9-10 k, 13 l, 24 m; 8:2 n, 6 o, 13 p). The language goes back to God’s warning to Adam and Eve (Gen 2:17 q). This death is not primarily physical death; it denotes separation from the fellowship of God that, if not reversed through faith in Christ, will last forever.
